HELP! Ordering my Alfa Romeo 8C on Tuesday

any chance you could post the options list???

i really liked the darker red as well, but the black was really nice....

 

The Red at Meadowbrook was the special red and is optional.

 

Here's how I would spec it:

Rosso Competizione/Red leather (not basket weave);
standard wheels, red calipers;
Quadrifoglio on front fenders;
floor mats, car cover, battery tender.

and maybe:
carbon driving zone;
custom luggage set;
8C Experience day (I think this might only be available in Italy: it's a day of familiarization with your new 8C at the Balocco test track with Alfa engineers and test drivers. Tire change included).

 

Check out the color samples in direct sunlight:

You will note that the Black has beautiful blue mica flakes; and the yellow is also surprisingly metallic (but the flakes are not blue). They are both very unusual and stunning.

Of course, the best color is the one you like most,not what someone else thinks!

 

22K for a custom color......YIKES !!! I see waht you mean. I would ask if they would ship it with no paint and refund you 22K!

 

you must be very excited...one of just a few - congratulations!

 

I'm so jealous. I'll have to settle for a 1:18 model of the 8C

 

wow thats a crazy list. it may e shock to me because ive never speced a car like this. how does the option list on a 430 read?

 

This is going to be a fantastic car. You've probably already optioned it by now, but if I were optioning one, here's what I'd pick:

Alfa Red
Black leather, stock seats
Carbon Fiber Wheel
Stock rims
Leather headliner
Floor mats
Cover
Battery charger

It's just my personal preference, but I would skip all the high end stereo stuff, and the $18,000 in wheel/tire options, unless you're going to track it.

My only thought here is that US customers took a $100,000 hit on the chin due to poor exchange rates. I think the euphoria over the car would have been greater if it had been less expensive stateside.

 

hmm maybe something unusual, silver would look really cool!

 

Wow, Matt, really? Silver an unusual color? You been on a road lately?

 

haha i meant for the 8c

I have yet to see one of those in silver

 

one tip-don't go for the $350 battery charger.

 

I'll take a nice 308 for the custom color and the set of rims.

 

You may want to consider the Battery charger. What you're getting is the wiring and easily accessible plug.

 

What a dilemma to have. I'd spec it in white paint with black leather.

 

Yellow with black interior... would be VERY rare and will probably hold it's value better.

 

Here's where I ended up on my 8C selections:

Color - Rosso Competizione
Calipers - yellow
Interior - Nero (basket weave pattern); grigio stitching
CF steering wheel & dash
Leather headliner & lower dash
Racing wheels
Ipod
BOSE
Battery charger
Luggage
Car Cover (2)

Note - Of my multiple Ferrari's, I've never owned a red car, but Alfa's Rosso Competizione is stunning! Twisted Woven ("basket weave") leather treatment on seats is both unique and gorgeous.

 

Maybe the insurance company would discount the priemium if the car had the fire systems and this would save you money over time. It is a fire sytems and and not a extinguisher, correct?
